That doesn't make sense. Eglinton Avenue is not a residential road. There are other construction projects in Toronto, like a section of the Gardiner Expressway which is narrowed to 2 lanes for construction, causing massive traffic jams (which we have a lot of in Toronto anyway). The Gardiner is still highway=motorway. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
